IMPROVEMENT IN KITCHEN-CABINETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,397, dated October5, 1875; application tiledA August 2l, 1875.

To all whom -it my concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE HoLT, of Minneapolis, in the county ot'Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and ImprovedKitchen-Cabinet, of which the following is a specification:

ln the accompanying drawing, Figure l represents a perspective view ofmy improved kitchen-cabinet, and Fig. 2 a top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to an improved kitchencabinet that contains in onepiece of furniture` storage-room for nearly all the articles andimplements required for cooking and kitchen use, being arranged in sucha manner that time and labor are saved, and the different articles arestored compactly and conveniently therein.

The invention consists of a compound kitch er1-cabinet with centralshelves7 side and top drawers, rear storage-receptacles, and slidingimplements and supporting-pieces for various purposes at the top.

In the drawing, A represents the top or table of the 4 improvedkitchencabinet; B, a hinged leaf at the rear side, supported on suitableslide-pieces; and O, an ironing-board that is placed on front cornerslides O, which are also made use of for sharpening knives. The centralfront part of the cabinet is arranged for shelves D, forming adish-cupboard with hinged doors. At both sides of the shelves D aredrawers E, for miscellaneous articles, flour, sugar, meal, towels, &c.;and above the shelves D and drawers E are two drawers, G, of smallerabove the same, for miscellaneous articles, oc-1 cupy the remainingavailable space. The arrangement for the dii'erent parts is verycompact, and so easily within reach that all the parts can be usedwithout delay, and with less labor and trouble than when shelved andstored away, so as to be found only with ditliculty when needed.
